Why did Davis go after Hyde? He was not happy.

During Buck’s tenure he broke in Zack Britton, Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, Miguel Gonzalez, Ryan Flaherty, Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, Wei-Yin Chen, Caleb Joseph, Mychal Givens, Joey Rickard, Trey Mancini and a lot of lesser players who had shorter tenures with the Orioles.   In general, I reject the notion that Buck didn’t give fair opportunities to less experienced players.     (I am including Chen in there only because of others’ obsession with Kim.)     If Buck thought players could play, he played them.   In fact, the main reason Kim played so little in 2017 was that the rookie Mancini outplayed him from day one.    He didn’t get significantly more playing time once he was traded to the Phillies, and interest in him the following offseason was so tepid that he went back to Korea, after initially saying he wanted to continue in MLB.

I’m not going to argue that Buck didn’t give some players more rope than others, but to me he was no worse than any other manager in that regard.

Great Corn.  Thanks for your opinion.  I didn't say we owe him anything.  I said it gives the fans a chance to goodbye.  Sorry my opinion differs from yours!

I didn't say was a huge help during the playoffs.  But without Davis we may not have the 3 appearance in 5 years that we did.  (yes, I know he got suspended late in 2014.)

And hit .196 when he did play.   Still, BB-ref had him at a respectable 1.7 rWAR and Fangraphs at 0.9 fWAR.

 If he started today he would have no emotional ties to Trumbo and Davis so he would not play them.  It wasnt because they were veterans that he played them.  I am not sure what your reply is for.  

Just pointing out a clear contradiction within a single post of yours, one you continue to double down on, it’s ok if you don’t get it.

Why so defensive?

Anyway it very well might not be goodbye, it might be see you next spring.

My point is I am HOPING they are playing him so that fans can get their final look at him in an Orioles uniform.  

If he returns again next year after this horrendous season, then it will truly show that ownership still is not giving full control over to our FO.  (not that this will surprise most of us).

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
